Ring in the New Year at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Parks with a national “First Day Hike 2020”. This annual tradition is a great way to start off the new year. The hike starts at the Commissary Store at 1:00 pm and will take you on a great hiking adventure in the park bringing you back to the Commissary Store where hot refreshments will be available to warm you up before you set out to enjoy the rest of your New Year’s Day!
 

Activities and topics include survival scenarios, finding food/water, starting fires utilizing various methods, knot tying, shelter construction and orienteering. We'll also enjoy making and eating snow ice cream.

In conjunction with our surrounding communities, we wanted to offer free blueberry and raspberry scones for Small Business Saturday. Since it is our Visitor Appreciation Day, all daily entrance fees to Cross Ranch State Park are waived. Feel free to shop small within our surrounding communities and take a relaxing hike through the park while replenishing with scones and chai tea or coffee. We hope to see you there!
